Diabetes Amputation Warning

As a physician, my first line of treatment for all of my patients is to “do no harm”. Like all medical doctors, I took the Hippocratic Oath. And I take it very seriously.

But I have a problem with today’s version of medicine. These days, we doctors are urged to provide treatment in the form of manmade drugs. And in so many cases, these prescription meds are riddled with horrible side effects.

It’s called Invokana and it’s used to lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by flushing out excess glucose when you urinate.

But unfortunately, this drug comes with a long list of side effects – from urinary tract infections to more severe concerns, such as life-threatening low blood pressure to kidney damage.

Now we’re learning that there’s one more side effect we have to add to the list. And it’s a doozy.

It turns out that leg and foot amputations are just about doubled in patients who take this prescription drug compared to those who don’t. The most common amputations include the toes and middle of the foot, although leg amputations above and below the knee can both occur.

MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes

When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…

Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.

Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.

In my FREE Special Report, I'll show you a HUGE, untapped resource for your eyes that safely and naturally restores clear, effortless eyesight.

The reason for this isn’t clear. But since the drug works by influencing the kidneys to excrete sugar in the urine, I suspect fluid and electrolyte loss may be involved. When these aren’t replenished regularly, it can result in low blood volume and a decreased flow of oxygen and nutrients to your extremities.

I don’t know about you, but there will never be a moment in my life when the loss of a limb is a positive outcome.

Sugar-Lowering Drugs don’t Treat the Disease

Diabetes isn’t a hard disease to understand.

If you eat a lot of sugary, starchy, processed and refined foods, they’ll send your blood sugar into the stratosphere. Then, insulin rushes in to pull those sugar levels back down to normal levels.

But when your body is constantly producing insulin in an effort to control your sugar, your sensitivity to the hormone becomes compromised. Eventually you become insulin resistant. In the end, there’s no longer a gatekeeper (insulin) to keep your blood sugar in check.

In other words, diabetes isn’t a sugar problem. It’s an insulin problem. And peeing excess sugar out of your body won’t really do anything to cure the disease. Other diabetes drugs that work at the sugar level don’t, either. They just help manipulate blood sugar numbers.

In the end, you’re still diabetic. And the results can be pretty devastating.

New research supported by the National Institutes of Health revealed a chemical flaw in this near-miraculous nutrient. Human studies show we just can't absorb it. No matter how much you take...you may as well be flushing it down the toilet!

But the benefits of resveratrol – and the amazing promise of genetic rewriting – were too incredible to ignore. That's why researchers kept looking… until they found a natural resveratrol "cousin."

If you absolutely have to take a pharmaceutical drug to save your life, I’m 100% behind you.

On the other hand, if you can avoid taking diabetes drugs by making healthy life choices, this should always be your first line of defense. And make no mistake about it. Type 2 diabetes is an entirely preventable and manageable disease.

One of the most effective ways to boost your insulin sensitivity is to get plenty physical activity. Limiting or avoiding high-glycemic foods – particularly sugars, refined grains and generally,foods that come in packages – is also vitally important to your metabolic health. (Fresh foods and clean, healthy fats are always a better choice.)

There are also a few supplements I recommend to patients who are wrestling with blood sugar control.

Chromium makes your cells more receptive to insulin, so they can better process glucose. It comes in various forms, including chromium chloride, chromium nicotinate, chromium picolinate, high-chromium yeast, and chromium citrate. I recommend taking chromium picolinate, between 400 and 600 mcg a day.

Green coffee extract contains something called chlorogenic acid. It helps to block sugar absorption in your intestines, reduces the production of glucose after meals and can work to improve insulin sensitivity.

Low vitamin D levels appear to increase the risk of developing insulin resistance. If you are vitamin D3 insufficient, (under 40 ng/ml) take 5,000 IU of D3 in the cholecalciferol form each day with Vitamin K2 in the same capsule/gelcap. Recheck your levels in three months. When you reach 60-70 ng/ml continue with 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily to maintain healthy levels.

Please be sure to work with your doctor as you take measures to bring your diabetes or metabolic syndrome under control using these safe alternatives.
